This past week china announced to introduce a system to register all internet user with their real name or a online name , right now china has more than 300 million internet user which is largest in the world and who need to register their real name or at least their online names as soon as possible. This comes in shock to all the citizen of china who uses the internet for post comment on blogs and other social networks forum and chat rooms. The newest laws states that all the internet users and mobile internet users has to register their real name to post any kind of comment over the internet
China decided to use identity authentication system to spread by advertising in the Chinese sites and most visited social networks. People in china is already getting ban for using a fake name or a anonymous identity. People do remember what happened when the Chinese government tried to introduce Green Dam Youth Escort internet monitoring software, it went outta the window and users now find it difficult to follow each and every law put up by the Chinese government. And Google’s Chinese version search engine has already shut down because of the sponsorship rules and validations issues.
Hmmm…Although there are advantages and disadvantages for this law but I'm just not comfortable because you will use your real name on it. Some people are not that comfortable. They just like to be known with their pen name or anonymously. I think the advantage of it is to avoid spammers and identity thief.
the chinese are like taliban on the web ..
Chinese Goverment Rule you describe very Well..
